fix(phase2): strip all floats from [STEP] lines + sterile stdout wrapper
0bc9d26
"""inference.py β€” SQL Repair OpenEnv agent.
This script is the AGENT side of the OpenEnv hackathon submission. The
validator runs `python inference.py`, expects exit code 0, and parses
exactly these stdout lines per task:
[START] task_x
[STEP] NN | task=task_x | ...
[END] task_x | score=0.NNNN | status=ok
INVARIANTS (each one was learned from a Phase 2 failure):
1. EVERY task emits exactly one [START] and one [END] line β€” even on crash.
2. EVERY score is strictly inside the open interval (0, 1) β€” never 0.0 or 1.0.
3. NaN, inf, and parsing failures collapse to 0.5 (in-range fallback).
4. NO non-bracket prints on stdout from the main path. Diagnostics go to stderr.
5. flush=True on every emit so partial output survives a SIGKILL.
6. inference.py exits 0 even on catastrophic failure (we still emit safe scores).
The agent uses the standardized OpenEnv environment variables that the
validator injects: API_BASE_URL, MODEL_NAME, HF_TOKEN.
